Directory Information

Walsh University, in accordance with the FERPA Act, has designated the following information as "directory information." The University may release directory information to anyone without the student’s consent unless the student requests otherwise in writing to the Office of the Registrar PRIOR to the first day of the academic semester or term in which the request is to become effective. This will remain effective until removed by the student.

Information the University may release, unless the student wishes all information to be withheld, includes:

Name;

Address (local and home);

Telephone (local and home);

Major field of study;

Participation in officially recognized University activities and sports;

Weight and height of member of athletic teams;

Dates of attendance;

Enrollment status;

Degrees and awards received;

Most recent previous educational agency or institution attended.

The student has the right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the educational records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to University officials with legitimate educational interests. Personally identifiable information is information that, if disclosed, would make a student’s identity easily traceable — e.g., Social Security number. If a student does not want Directory Information released, he/she must contact the Office of the Registrar immediately.
